The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute and the width y is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/minute. When x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm, find the rates of change of (a) the perimeter, and (b) the area of the rectangle.
Since the length (x) is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute and the width (y) is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/minute, we have:
\begin{align} \frac{dx}{dt} = -5 \;cm/min\; and \; \frac{dy}{dt}= 4 \;cm/min\end{align}
(a) The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given by,
P = 2(x + y)
\begin{align} \therefore\frac{dp}{dt} = 2\left(\frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{dy}{dt}\right)= 2(-5+4)=-2\;cm/min\end{align}
Hence, the perimeter is decreasing at the rate of 2 cm/min.
(b) The area (A) of a rectangle is given by,
A = x⋅ y
\begin{align} \therefore\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dx}{dt}.y + x.\frac{dy}{dt}=-5y + 4x \end{align}
When x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm,
\begin{align} \frac{dA}{dt} = (-5 \times 6 + 4 \times 8)\; cm^2/min = 2\; cm^2/min\end{align}
Hence, the area of the rectangle is increasing at the rate of 2 cm2/min.
